Angelo and Twig

"Eh, you heet my dog?"

Yeah, so I keep drawing profiles to try and improve on them, but it doesn't seem to be working when I don't use any reference. This was actually a 5 minute magic I did when I first got my tablet. Painted in Painter Essentials, fixed in Photoshop because the other program is miserably alike to painting. If I wanted that trouble, I'd get out my paints and yet -- years later-- end up with something worth talking about!

In any case ^^, Angelo Torricelli is an Italian pirate mostly working in South East Asia. He's also a complete failure and would probably be dead by now if it wasn't for the Norwegian master he pressed, Dagfin Kittelsen, who hates him for that as well as because Angelo's a paederist! He met Twig when he was a young boy deserted in India while his criminal parents were being whisked off to Australia. Twig became part of an English crew soon after, though, and it wasn't until he became a midshipman that they happened to meet again by chance at a theatre performance in Portsmouth. Angelo whisked him away and made a savage out of him ;)

Angelo expects a mutiny to take hold of his ship at any moment because he's a lousy captain I mean, his nickname is Black Lowlocks, and he managed to burn off all his hair trying to mimic Blackbeard-- hence the short hair in the picture
